Trades Council's Request.I

Powell moved that that coune be taken, and Mr. W. Lamburn seconded. The motion was carried.

War Pensions Committee.\
War Pensions Committee. The following item was on the agenda To appoint the Local Com- mittee under the Naval and Military YVar Pensions Act, 1915." The Clerk said he had received information from Abercynon "fco the effect that the Aber- cynon Ladies Guild had nominated Mrs. (Inspector) Toye as lady representative on the committee. The Chairman said that Mrs. J. W. Bath, 36 Penrhiwceiber Road, had been appointed for Penrhiw- I ceiber Ward. No lady representatives had been appointed for Duftryn, Darren- ) las and Ynysybwl Wards, and it was I resolved that they be appointed im- mediately, the Clerk stating that the matter was extremely urgent. Mr. Griffith Evans proposed and Mr. f W. Lamburn seconded, that Mrs. Catherine Edwards, Brynheulog, be ap- pointed for Duffryn Ward. Mr. Lam- burn moved, and Mr. J. Powell second- ed the appointment of Mrs. Jenkins, Hazeldene, for DiarrenLas ard, and Mr James Evi.ns moved and Mr. '1. A V. Jones seconded Miss Gertie Lewis lor Ynvsvbwl Ward. The three ladies were thereupon elected. Mrs. Richards was adopted for Miskin Ward at the last Council meeting.

Eleven other members of the Council were also elected on the committee, and it was resolved to hold the first meeting of the committee next Monday.
New Loans.
New Loans. The Clerk reported as to the result of negotiations for loans to pav off mort- gages called in by the Co-operative Wholesale Society. He remarked that Lloyds Bank had agreed to advance monev at 5 per cent. The rate paid to the C.W.S. was 3 per cent. The Coun- cil were very fortunate in getting a new loan from Lloyds at 5 per cent., con- sidering the state of the money market. The Clerk's action was confirmed.
Penderyn Waterworks.
Penderyn Waterworks. The weekly reports from the Pen- j dervn Waterworks showed that the number of men employed there was down to 31. Rev. Geo. Neighbour: The water is going up, I suppose. (Laughter.) Mr. J. Powell: What about the price. Clerk: That is about the only thing that is not taxed. (Laughter.)
! Strong Language. j
Strong Language. Abercynon Butcher and His Rent. j The Clerk said he wanted to lay be fore the Council some correspondence which had passed between him and Mr Edmund Jones, butcher, Abercynon. The Council would remember that an agreement had been entered into with Mr. Jones for the tenancy of a sewage farm at Abercynon, which was used for sheep grazing. His (the clerk's) atten- tion had been called to the fact that the rent was very irregularly paid, and that Mr. Jones was now in arrears, so he wrote to him about it, and Mr. Jones wrote a very improper letter in reply, in which he stated: Dear Sir,—I think you are off your damned heads in that office. 1 don't owe you £ 25. There is no more due until June 30th. You can have that, but don't, give me your cheek." Chairman That is rather strong. Rev. Geo. Neighbour As strong as the sewerage, almost. Mr. J. Powell: Where was he when he wrote that letter ? Chairman: He might have been on the sewage beds. The Clerk explained to the Council how irregular the payments had been. The rent was £ 25 per annum, payable according to the agreement, half-yearly in advance. Rent due Jan. 1, 1914, £ 12 10s., paid Oct. 1, 1914; £ 12 10s. due July 1, 1914, paid March 23, 1915 E12 10s. due Jan. 1, 1915, paid August j 30,1915 P,12 10s. due July 1, 1915, paid June 24, 1916, 12 months after it was due. The rent due Jan. 1, 1916, and July 1, 1916, had not yet been paid. The Clerk sent the particulars to Mr. Jones, adding that his abusive letter would be placed before the Council. Mr. W. Lamburn suggested that the Clerk be instructed to collect the money, and to tell Mr. Jones that unless the money were paid regularly in future notice to quit would be served on him. Mr. Bruce Jones asked what were the terms of the agreement. Clerk: Six months notice must be given. Mr. W. Davies remarked that Mr. Jones had not observed the agreement since the very commencement. The Clerk was directed to press tor payment, and he &nd the surveyor were asked to submit a report on the whole
M.O.H. Report.
M.O.H. Report. The fortnightly report of Dr. Arthur T. Jones showed that during the last fortnight there were 6 cases of scarlet fever, 10 of diphtheria, 2 of ery- sipelas, 21 of measles, and 1 of tuber- culosis. in view of the large number of diphtheria cases, he had local milk anal- ysed, but the milk proved quite satis- j fact-ory. In reply to Mr. Neighbour Dr. Jones said that the bulk of the cases were in Mi-km. Mr. W. Lamburn: Any particular thing likely to have caused itr* Dr. Jones: The drainage may have caused it in some places. The sanitary inspector has been looking into it. ( On the motion of Mr. Maddox, seconded by Mr. James Evans, the re- port was adopted.
Fire Brigades' Pay.j
Fire Brigades' Pay. In the Surveyor's report it was stated that the retaining fees were as follows Captains, JE4 per annum; lieutenants, t2 per annum; and £1 tor firemen, with a bonus of 5s. for each member who put in 75 per cent. of the drills per annum. The Surveyor asked whether Fire Bri- gade men on active service were entitled to half their retaining fees. It was explained that those particu- lar men on active service were Council employees, and were already paid half wage, so no payment will be made in re- spect of Brigade work. Retaining fees were ordered to be paid to the new officers of the Penrhnr- cciber Fire Brigade.
Mountain Ash Park. |
Mountain Ash Park. Complaints of Immoral Conduct. The Surveyor reported that he had seen the child alleged to have been molested at the Mountain Ash ParK. The child, whose name was Iris Lan-J- ford, was with an older sister, 10 years of age, in the Park. The elder sister went home, and it appeared that a bov 10-12 years of age molested the little girl. He (the Surveyor) had seen the park-keeper, who stated that there was u r always a lot of screaming about the swings, and if he saw a boy 10 years of age leading a little girl who was crying, he would probably think nothing of it. Mr. Lamburn said he was still of opinion that steps ought to be taken to have better oversight at the Park, so as to avoid such incidents as this. He was given to understand that other evil things were carried on at the Park. Mr. W. Davies said he had also heard complaints. Mr. J. Powell thought the case would be met by asking the Park-keeper to keep a closer supervision over a certain portion of the Park. Mr. Lamburn repeated that parents complained of persons visiting the Park for immoral purposes, and they (the parents) would not like their chil- dren to see what was going on there. The Surveyor said it had reached him that some women of bad character had been seen in the Park, but the police could not turn them out unless there was evidence that they acted im- properly. Mr. Bruce Jones suggested that the IInspector of Police be asked to send a plain clothes constable there occasion- allv. This course was agreed to.
Stolen.
Stolen. A workman at the Gasworks, so the Surveyor reported, had lost 17s. 2td. from his coat pocket while engaged at his work. He was on the Sunday shift and quite alone. Mr. Bowles He couldn't be alone. (Laughter.) Mr. Bruce Jones: We cannot do any- thing except sympathise with him. Mr. J. Powell: That won't help him very much. Mr. Thomas Jones: Unless we do as the Quaker did, who said, I sympath- ise 6d." (Laughter.)

| Cwmdare Notes. BY RAFFLES. Quite proudly Twm Talcen Slip took home some fish and chips for his supper the other evening. On hearing the voice of the minister-who was making a visit—Twm slipped round to the back door. He fell against the wheel- barrow, and, of course, gave vent to his feelings in strong language. But the minister had gone. Lucky Tom. The old wind sucker is still doing its best. But talk about music! Professor Popcorn has taken his piipils to the sea-side, not to drown them. Two of them are going to sing on the seashore that duet, "What are the wild waves saying." My advice is— keep well back, Bagpipes and Bumper; there are breakers ahead. It was interesting to see old Gaffer Nos the other morning; he was chopping firewood with a bread knife. While he went to get a drink old Cornpaint re- moved the knife and put a 561b. weight there instead. The old Gaffer went on strike at once. Mary Elizabeth Ann is holiday-mak- ing at Llanfanbonerboco.

¡Presentation at Aberaman.
Presentation at Aberaman. On Thursday last Mr. H. Hopkin, of the General Picton Inn, was the re- I cipient of an excellent enlarged photo- graph of himself and his recently de- ceased wife by the Rose of Glandare Lodge of Oddfellows. P.P.G.M. James Phillips, in opening the meeting, enumerated many interesting incidents in the history of the Lodge during the 40 years that Mr. Hopkin had filled in a most exemplary manner the office of treasurer, showing how the members and treasurer had always clung together even in the face of the most strenuous opposition at times of the officers of the Order, and even suffered to be penalised for their fidelity to each other. The time had now however arrived when parting with each other had become inevitable on account of the Lodge having become amalgamated with the Sunny Bank Lodge of the same Order. Prov.C.S. Jacob R. Jones, in making the presentation, touched very feelingly upon the death of Mrs. Hopkin, who was at all times an embodiment of kindness and sympathy, and in a few very appropriate verses wished Mr. Hopkin a quiet and peaceful eventide. Mr. Hopkin being too overwhelmed by his feelings to respond, Dr. Ross, of Penrhiwceiber, in a very appropriate and brief speech, tendered thanks on his behalf. P.G. John Owen, of Mor- grugyn Morganwg Lodge, also expressed his delight at this token of respect paid to his old friend, and paid a very high tribute to the late Mrs. Hopkin. Addresses were also delivered by Bros. J. P. Thomas, John Jones (Pentwyn), David Phillips, Evan Thomas, T. Lewis, W. Samuel and J. Bertram, Mr.. Rees James contributing excellent solos.
-----__-_.._____----RHEUMATISM…
RHEUMATISM --KIDNEY TROUBLE. I, Rheumatism is due to uric acid I. crystals in the joints and muscles, the result of excessive uric acid in the sys- tem that the kidneys failed to remove i as nature intended, to which every qualified physician agrees, and this acid is also the cause of backache, lumbago, sciatica, gout, urinary trouble, stone, gravel, dropsy. The success of Estora Tablets for the treatment of rheumatism and other forms of kidney trouble is due to the fact that they restore the kidneys to healthy action and thereby remove the cause of the trouble, and have cured numberless cases after the failure of other remedies, which accounts for them fast superseding out-of-date medicines that are sold at a price beyond all but the wealthy.

- Sentence on Aberdare Priest.
Sentence on Aberdare Priest. At Bristol Assizes on Thursday (be- fore Mr. Justice Lawrence), Ernest Arthur Sutherland, alias Cawthorne (39), a Roman Catholic priest, of Aber- dare, was indicted for inciting Wm. Genders to procure girls for an immoral purpose. Mr. Dunnitt, in opening the case, said he only desired to say that a Wm. Genders accidentally saw a letter which led him to think the prisoner was pur- suing a. course of conduct of getting young girls for immoral purposes for himself. He went to the address that appeared on the letter, and the result of that communication was that the ac- cused by correspondence and conversa- tion incited Mr. Genders to procure girls for him. Counsel had the corres- pondence between Mr. Genders and the prisoner, which he did not propose to read, but it showed quite clearly that prisoner was desirous of getting hold of two girls whose age, he said, must not exceed 12 or 14. In this correspond- ence, which (said counsel) was of a dis- gusting character, he passed under the name of Cawthorne, receiving letters at a newsagent's shop in Merthyr. From the start he was writing and represent- ing himself as a gentleman in Holy Orders, calling himself the Rev. A. E. Cawthorne.' He was at the time he committed the offence in the UoTrr t; Catholic priesthood. When the police searched the prisoner's room they found numerous photographs of young girls in his possession, and he was informed by Detective-Superintendent Tanner that it was quite clear from the correspond- ence that prisoner had been carrying on this practice for some time. Mr. Weatherley, for the defence, said that prisoner was a missioner at Aber- dare, where he had for some time con- ducted a mission most successfully. He was a. man trusted in every way by his superiors in the church. It was a hope- less case to light, but because he knew he had done wrong he did the only thing j he could do—to plead guilty and to make voluntary confession of his guilt to his superiors in the Church. Counsel, continuing, said the prisoner had been deprived of his orders in the Church, and by his own desire he would be confined for life in an ecclesiastical establishment. This, counsel said, he could only describe as an ecclesiastical prison, in which the lloman Church had the power to confine people for life who had fallen into grievous wrongdoing. He did write a letter indicating that he was a man trying to find a girl. That letter came into the possession of the prosecutor, who saw that the writer was a man of depraved mind. The smallest satisfaction that he (Mr Weatherley) could see in this case was that prisoner, to meet the supposed children, who did not exist, went to Stapleton Road Station for the purpose of doing this wrong and when he got there, either from fear or because of his conscience, he booked on to Temple Mead, and this ticket was found on i him. The Judge Was that the first time he i came to Bristol Mr. Dunnett: It was not the first oc- casion. Mr. Weatherley It was on the Tues- day, the occasion of the interview ar- ranged, and Stapleton Road was the agreed meeting place. Mr. Weatherley added that in the place of ecclesiastical confinement the prisoner would do manual or clerical work, and would not hold his priestly office again. His Lordship said he had no power over that. Mr. Weatherley further said prisoner desired him to say how sincerely sorry he was. Whatever punishment his Lordship might inflict upon him, there was behind that the punishment in- flicted by the ecclesiastical authorities. The Judge said the prisoner had been well advised to plead guilty, because the details of his crime could do nothing but aggravate his guilt. The whole of the circumstances of his conduct made it plain that he had conducted this mat- ter with premeditation and deliber- ation, and that he had intended to de- stroy these girls at the outset of their lives. Crimes of this sort were gener- ally committed by persons who were bru- talised by drink, but in this case the offender was a priest, and it was evi- dent from the property found at his re- sidence that this was not the solitary case in which he had been engaged. He would have to go to prison for 18 months. The Judge gave permission to the prisoner to see the Viear-General of the diocese (Monsignor O'Reilly).
